In the thick of it.
This Saturday at noon, Chelsea won 3-0 away at Nottingham Forest to open Matchday 8 of the Premier League.
Less than half an hour after this stinging defeat, Forest announced the dismissal of their coach Ange Postecoglou. The English club’s statement cited “disappointing results” to justify the decision.
The Australian coach is the third manager to be sacked this season in the Premier League after Nuno Espirito Santo (his predecessor) and Graham Potter (West Ham).
Having arrived on the Reds’ bench in early September following the sacking of Nuno EspĂrito Santo, Postecoglou suffered his sixth defeat since taking charge.
Worse still, the former Tottenham manager had yet to win a single match in any competition.
Added to this dismal run were particularly painful losses: 2-3 away to Swansea, a second-division side, in the Carabao Cup; 0-1 at home against Sunderland, newly promoted to the Premier League; and 2-3 at home to Danish club Midtjylland.
Since Postecoglou’s arrival, Forest’s record is: six defeats, two draws, 18 goals conceded, seven scored. It is the worst record for a Nottingham manager in 100 years.
